Insect bite (nonvenomous) of lower leg 1 S80.86 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S80.86 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S80.86 - other international versions of ICD-10 S80.86 may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code.
No multiple bite code. You have to code for each of the bites and sites. There isn't a code for multiple and L53.8 is a symptom. You can't code for symptoms when a definitive DX is available. Hope this helps.
L53.8 would not be appropriate as that is a symptom of a bug bite and you don't code to the symptoms when there is a definitive DX. You are going to have to code for the bites and sites. if I remember right from someone's post earlier this year, there is no general bug bites all over body DX. I don't think this qualifies as Sequela either.
